Making it pretty

Ben gave me some great notes on little details that end up making a big difference and making it look more professional looking. Being a developer, I don't have that great of an eye for details like that, so I really appreciate his input in this area!!

So this update is all cosmetic. I added padding in various areas, added a thumbnail on the listing pages to show what the no photo image will look like. I think that we are going to implement a few default photos for each of the listing types, and allow the user to select which one they would like to use, or just upload some of their own media ;-)

I also added the new no photo photos that Ben gave me.

More to come...

Another update

This one is kind of lame, cause there is very little to test, but here goes...

- I added a thumbnail to the "create listing" pages that shows the default graphic (Ben)

- I implemented separate ad tables for the various listing types.

- I re-implemented advertising in the search results, you won't see anything different though.

- I add ads to job and service listings.

What's coming next you ask... well. quite a bit of stuff, but it will all be focused on advertising, so you should not see too much for a while, but you should keep testing to verify that I don't accidentally break something.

Just a quick one

We are always getting closer... This round includes:

- Fixed Rosie, she will now properly handle ending auctions and listings. You should get emails

- Fixed page sizing issues. This was driving me crazy

- Added Facebook integration. You can share listings.

I did do some more work on the ads, but they are not ready for prime time yet. Please continue to ignore them as we work out the details of advertising on tikiwade.

Another Update

We are plugging right along here with updates and all kinds of stuff. New to the site is the form for creating an advertisement. This still needs much more refinement and should not be used yet, but you can take a look at the form to see what it entails. It is most likely going to change though. Bug fixes that went in to this are:

- If there is no history at login, redirect goes to home page (Dani)

- Added live link for digg(ing) a listing (please do not use)

- Setting item to the free category now disables the auction and price

- Added '(max characters n)' to some of the text entry fields

As I said we are still working on the advertising part, and this will change. Please don't make yourself into an advertiser yet.

What is TikiWade?

Hmmm, What is TikiWade... The URL www.tikiwade.com just brings up a strange picture
